Found the quote!

Do you think Daniel "I kiss all my leading men" Craig ever kissed Hugh Grant to "break the ice"?

I loved all of the celebrity cameos and name-dropping in Glass Onion, but the more I think about it, the more I realize how it plays into the characterization of Miles and Blanc.

Miles keeps mentioning how he has hired people like Gillian Flynn, Philip Glass, Banksy, etc. to create things for him. And we get to see how Serena Williams is on-call as a personal trainer for his guests. But…

When Blanc quickly solved the mystery game Miles had set up, my first thought was that it was really contrived and not well-crafted. The Hourly Dong was minimalistic, yes, but not Glass-like. As for the Piece-of-Shit dock, it didn’t seem very Bansky-ish (at least to me). It looked more like a generic ice sculpture than anything - interesting at first glance, but not really much beyond that.

Then, we have Serena Williams literally phoning it in as a personal trainer. She’s content to sit there and read, as she’s getting paid whether or not she actually does any training.

Miles is quick to drop these names as if all of these talented people are part of his entourage, but the quality of their work-for-hire demonstrates that they don’t give a shit about him and/or actively dislike him.

In sharp contrast, we have Blanc, who is actually close friends with people like Angela Lansbury, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, etc. These people are close enough to him to play online games with him and worry about his well-being. In fact, they’re good enough friends that Blanc’s partner can complain to them about how Blanc hasn’t left the bath for a week.

All in all, it’s a little thing in the grand scheme of the movie, but it does show just how much thought has gone into the characterization of the two male leads.

Glass Onion is for the girls who like dramatic reveals. Its for the gays who love colour and lighting. But most importantly it's for the communists who wish death upon Elon Musk

I think the cool thing about Benoit Blanc is how he is never, in his mind and on screen, the hero. He is the helper. He puzzles things out. But as he tells Helen, there's a limit to what he can do.

Actually, no, that's not even true. He COULD have blown up the house with Klear himself. He COULD have proved Ransom was responsible without also proving to Marta that she is, in fact, a good nurse. But it was Helen's vengeance to take, and it was Marta's house to claim, and he knows that he's a guest in their stories.

Ransom using the fake knife to attack Marta in Knives Out and Andi's journal blocking the bullet that would have killed Hellen in Glass Onion.

Something about how both women are saved by the eccentricities of the people who loved them. 🤌

Everyone complaining about amogus in glass onion clearly seems to forget that during covid they along with the world were obsessed with it. This movie is set during the pandemic and shows us exactly how the rich and powerful showed no regard for it (birdie Jay throwing a massive party, miles inviting his friends over to his private island) while benoit had a mental breakdown from being locked inside for so long and his husband hugh grant is stress baking.

It’s a crime they typecast Daniel Craig as a serious action man for so long when it’s clear he was born to play a silly little gay detective

one of my favorite parts about Glass Onion (brought over from Knives Out) is Daniel “Fuck-James-Bond-I-fucking-hate-James-Bond-please-just-set-me-free-from-playing-James-Bond” Craig just EATING up the role of Benoit Blanc with absolute delight. He fucking RELISHES the accent, the outfits, the cigars, the monologues, the everything and it pours out of the screen!! After the years of being in the spotlight as The Number One Bland Action Hero, he adores his funky little southern gay detective so much. Good for Him
